My next batch i will try for 60vg and 40pg. Just will have to pray my carto will wick in the tank with 60vg
going to try this TFA cantaloupe at 10% Someone said to mix it with 5% honeysuckle but I am not sure if that will warp the flavor too much

I mixed my TFA cantaloupe at 10%, and it's delicious. I added 1 drop of EM, might make it 2 drops on my next batch (for a 5ml batch).
Everyone's tastes will vary, of course. Others here in the DIY forum have complained that the TFA fruits are too "perfumey", but I'm not tasting any perfumey or soapy undertones at all.
Oh, and I got my 2nd order today - 30 new flavors to try. I mixed up a batch of Buttery Nipple, but I haven't tried it yet. Going to let it steep for a day or two.

I plan on making a 10ml batch.. and I have TFA Sweetner
Should I use 10% cataloupe with 2 drops of sweetner? or more sweetner?

Well, it's according to taste. I used the TFA EM (ethyl maltol). The cantaloupe flavor is really nice, but I tend to like things a bit sweeter than some. So I would suggest maybe no sweetener until you try it; if not sweet enough for your tastes, then add a drop or 2. Or 3 or 4 since you're making 10ml. I initially used only 1 drop for a 5ml batch. My drops measure out to 32 drops/ml.
Well, the steeping time for the buttery nipple ... not so much. Couldn't resist, had to try some. Wow, it's delicous. I used the recipe that was already in the ejuicemeup calculator: 14% butterscotch, 7% Irish Cream. But I added 2% EM to mine.
I have to say it again .... wow, this is heavenly.

I am having a problem with the juice me up program
I did the flavoring at 10% for 10ml and it shows 1.1ML 22 drops.. well 22 drops only equals like 0.5 ml so what gives?

most people figure 20 drops equals 1 ml but the drops depend on your dropper so you have to adjust for your dropper. My dropper is a bottle dropper and I measured and it is 20 drops equals 1 ml. Yours might be different.

Oh crap so all my recipes have been off. Good thing I have only made 3 DIY juices so far.
that was supposed to read one ml not 11 ml. Geez, I gotta proof read better.
Sounds like you may want to calibrate your dropper and re figure your percentages based on your dropper
TFA cantaloupe is very weak. Had to add a lot and I am not too impressed by it (no steeping yet)
The honeysuckle and honeydew are stronger.
I bought empty 10ml bottles from WL and when I use juice me up and fill them accordingly with my syringes it is only making about 7-8ml. Something else is screwy. I make sure I put 10ml to make in the program

YOu might want to make sure you aren't getting an air bubble in the syringe. That would affect the amount. Also if you are using 15% flavor and only putting in half that much you would be affected by 1/2 ml or more. And, there may be some room at the top so that you can fill to 10ml and not have it overflowing. Try using water only in your syringe and then seeing how full your bottles are at 10 ml.

Well I found out last night that ejuice me up drops per ml default is 20 per 1ml
My syringes are 49 drops per 1ml. So all of my batches were wrong.
I just made a TFA honeydew which tastes good.
Loran's strawberry tastes like crap.
I am failing right now with DIY.
I just bought 3 super concentrated juices from Vaping Zone.
They recommend how many drops and I think this is the easiest way for a newbie to make DIY juice.
I read that on the forum and I will try it. Order should be here later this week

Well, you have had one success at DIY so that is not failing but you will have to work harder to get a passing grade
Just teasing on that last part. What percentage of Lorann did you use?
I ordered some 1ml syringes just for the flavorings. Takes all the drops gueswork out of the equation and I don't think you can get any more accurate and repeatable formulas than with the small syringes.
I do the same thing as the gentleman above. I use 1 ml syringes. Drops isn't a good way or accurate, it is so subjective. I tested it out when I first started and the drops came close to 45 per ml. I plug in 40 drops per ml in ejuice me up just for the heck of it but go by mls as it is more accurate.
Don't give up on it. Take your failures and dump them in a larger container, after a month try it with everything mixed up and seasoned, some people have had someinteresting concoctions that they liked. Of course you could never replicate it but worth a try
I want to mix my TFA root beer and vanilla swirl. Not sure what % to use
I think wizardlabs is great but I think TFA flavors are all lacking.

Ive been using most of my TFA flavors at 10 - 15 percent so why not try 10 percent rootbeer and 5 percent vanilla swirl.
